[[File:CPHomepage.png|thumb|left|150px|The first version of the website.]]
Sometime prior to Club Penguin's launch, clubpenguin.com was launched to tease the game. Back then, it just showed an empty page with “Coming Soon” written in bold. When Club Penguin launched, the website was updated with its features, membership and a video showing off some of the game's features. Sometime in 2006, the website was updated again and now showed a penguin standing in front of the [[Town]]. If you clicked the penguin it would change its outfit to random clothes found in the game. If you clicked on the “N” in Night Club, the penguin would wear a [[Ninja Mask]].
